Song Qingyou had already changed her clothes after the press conference ended. Now that she was wearing a mask, as long as she didn’t act in a high-profile manner, she wouldn’t be recognized for a while.

The two humans and one cat followed behind the messenger. After a while, they arrived at the southeast entrance of the venue.

However, the scene of being surrounded by bodyguards that he had imagined was completely gone.

Not only that, but the wealthy and noble old man that the messenger mentioned was also nowhere to be seen.

The young man looked around in shock and quickly explained to Song Qingyou.

“Sister Song, I really didn’t lie to you. It’s that old man’s bodyguard who asked me to pass a message to you…But I don’t know why they suddenly disappeared…”

Seeing that the other party was about to speak incoherently, Chen Lan patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous. We’re not suspecting you of lying.” “Perhaps that gentleman felt that he had waited too long and left.”

“Yes.” The young man nodded. “That should be the case…”

Before the three of them could finish speaking, a commotion came from not far away.

“I don’t even know him! He was either a pervert or a human trafficker! Call the police! Can someone help me call the police?”

The woman’s voice was very sharp and filled with anger.

“I really don’t know him! Believe me!”

“Let me go! Let go of me! Did you hear that?”

Song Qingyou was attracted by the voice and unconsciously walked over.

Being nosy and being a hero were two different concepts. If it was really about the abduction of women, she did not want to stand by and watch.

So while Chen Lan was still arguing with the young man, Song Qingyou walked into the crowd with the cat in her arms.

In the crowd, a hot mom pushing a pram was being held by an old man.

The hot mom was still shouting,

“I told you, I don’t know him. He either wants to touch me or kidnap my child!”

The old man whom she said was ‘groping’ was holding a transparent food bag in his hand, which was filled with some broken pastries.

He seemed to have been frightened by the woman. He opened his mouth but could not speak for a long time.

“Eat… Here… Xiaoxiao, eat.”

“Cake, give it to Xiaoxiao!”

The woman slapped his hand away and said sternly, “I low did you know my daughter’s name is Xiaoxiao? You must have finished your investigation, right? You stinky human trafficker!”

There were more and more onlookers, and there was no lack of warm-hearted people in the crowd who came out to help the woman pull the old woman away.

The old man seemed to be oblivious to his surroundings. The words that came out of his mouth were the same as before.

“Hurry up and pull him away. This old man doesn’t look normal.”

“Crazy people don’t even need to go to jail for murder. Stop watching the show and leave quickly.”

“What is he carrying? It looks disgusting.”

“You might get scammed! It’s best if you stay away. Don’t be extorted until you go bankrupt.”

The discussions around them grew louder and louder.

At this moment, the woman who was caught earlier also reacted. Seeing that the old man was not in a normal state of mind, she quickly pushed the pram and ran away after being saved by the kind-hearted passersby.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t run.”

“Grandpa’s Xiaoxiao!”

The old man seemed to be going crazy, and the people who were joining in the fun quickly dispersed.

Song Qingyou looked at the old man’s clothes.

She couldn’t tell the brand of the clothes, but the cut and texture were better than the haute couture clothes she had worn.

Therefore, the old man most likely ran away from home.

She thought about it and decided to call the police first.

However, when there was no one around, the old man quickly turned around and looked at her.

“Xiaoxiao-”

When the old man saw Song Qingyou, he blurted out the same address.

After a while, she shook her head again. “Xiaoxiao is still a baby. You’re not Xiaoxiao.”

Song Qingyou was worried that the old man would walk into the middle of the road, so she supported him.

“Yes, I’m not Xiaoxiao.”

Just as she was about to ask the old man if he still remembered where he lived, she saw him staring at her and then grabbing her hand.

“Man Zhen? Why are you here? Man Zhen?”

“Man Zhen, Xiaoxiao is missing! Xiaoxiao is missing!”

Song Qingyou was confused.

However, the old man’s mental state was unstable, so it was normal for him to mistake someone else for someone else.

“Old man, I am not Man Zhen…”

“No?”

The old man hesitated for a few seconds and then shook his head.

“Why isn’t it Man Zhen?”

“You’re Man Zhen!”

“You look exactly like Man Zhen! Don’t you dare lie to me!”

Seeing the old man’s firm and resolute look, Song Qingyou didn’t want to argue with him, so she asked, “Do you want to come with me and sit over there for a while?”

As she spoke, she pointed at the venue where the press conference was held.

“Let’s go together.” The old man nodded obediently. “I’ll go with Man Zhen.”

Probably because he trusted this person called “Man Zhen,” the old man didn’t make a fuss when Song Qingyou held his hand. Instead, he asked her if she was tired and if she wanted to rest for a while after every two steps.

By the time Chen Lan arrived, Song Qingyou had already returned with an old man.

“Qingyou, you…”

Chen Lan was surprised. Then, she looked at the person behind her. “Could this be…”

It was that big shot, right?

“No,” Song Qingyou answered on his behalf.

“This old man must have gotten separated from his family. Sister Lan, please help me call the police.”

“Oh, oh.” Chen Lan nodded and took out her phone to make a call.

The young man behind looked at the old man and asked carefully, “Sister Song, is he not in good spirits…”

“Shh.”

“I mean, there’s actually a high-end sanatorium nearby. Do you think the old man ran out of the sanatorium?”

“A sanatorium?” Song Qingyou raised her head.

“So Sister Song doesn’t know?” The young man was stunned for a moment and scratched his head. “I’m sorry, my house is nearby. I forgot that Sister Song is not from here.”

“I don’t know much about this sanatorium either. I only know that entry and exit seem to be quite strict. I’ve only heard about it from my classmate in the past, but 1 don’t know where it is exactly. In any case, only rich people can afford to live there…”

Song Qingyou didn’t care if the nursing home was high-class or not. She interrupted him, “Does this nursing home have a way to contact the outside world?”

“I don’t think so? Some people say that this sanatorium might be private and not open to the public. They just don’t know who lives inside…”

Song Qingyou lost interest.

On the other side, after Chen Lan called the police, she received another call before returning.

“Someone has already sent the car over. Should we leave first, or…”

Her gaze fell on the old man.

Song Qingyou looked at her hand that was firmly held and sighed. “Be a good person to the end. Wait here first.”

The cat in her other hand had been staring at the old man who was sitting obediently since a while ago.

Jiang Zhihan felt that the old man looked familiar, but he couldn’t put his finger on it..
